"For all of us who are children of the age of Jewish displacement,
migration and landing in new settings, this trove of over 200
letters is an invaluable document of social history. Fighting
loneliness and despondency, an intelligent and sensitive young Jew
is at the center of a fascinating correspondence primarily with his
sister whose reflections and insightful, encouraging responses turn
these letters into an 'epistolary novel.' Viewed through the lens
of the Holocaust 20 years later, the central characters win our
admiration for their rootedness in tradition and their
resourcefulness. They are true Jewish survivors of painful
relocation and pioneers in building a new life." Max Ticktin
Professor of Jewish Studies George Washington University
